"There was very little information OBJ
tainable yesterday in reference TO the Saw
annah river freShet," said Yesterdays NetUS
and Courier The factors here have gem
orally come TO the conclusion, from letters
previously received from their correspond
ents, and from the stage of maturity at
which the crop has arrived, that the harvest
will be an absolute failure. They think, as
do some Of the planters, that some of the
rice may be saved, but not in such quanti-
ties as would make it in any gree a com
pensation for the general dest lction of the
staple in theioverhowed fields"
occurred to a little daughter of Mr.. John
McMillan,on King street, near the corner of
Queen street Monday afternoon. The little
girl, who is only about years of age, was
playing on the pavement when one of the
ice wagons of Bayer & Co. came along
The child endeavoied to run across the
street but slipped and fell under the wagon,
one of the rear wheels of which passed over
the lower part of her body. The driver i'm
mediately went to the rescue of the little
sufferer, who was taken into her house near
by and cared for The most painful of the
injuries is to the lower part of one of the
child's legs. 1t is stated. however, that the
bone has not been broken. The face of the
child is also bruised, possibly by the fall
upon the street.
A local division of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers was formed in

in getting up the organization. The local

Monday afternoon two of Mr.. s. M. Daw-
sous children, one a little girl years old
and the other boy still younger were play
ing in front Of their home in Calhoun street,
opposite Wall, when they were very rudely
handled and the boy was thrown to the
ground by a colored girl Mr.. Dawson
naturally interfered and pushed the girl
aside, when Cupid Horlbeck, an obstreper-
Gus colored man, who keeps a store in
the vicinity, and who boasts, it is said,
that his cousin killed white man In 1876,
took part in the affair and struck Mr.
Dawson, being backed up by three or four
other coiorei men. In the melee which fol-
lowed, Mr.. Dawson was struck in the mouth
with brick and his children were roughly
handled although not seriously hurt. There
is no telling what might have happened
however, had not several of Mr.. Dawson
friends arrived ON the scene and saved him
from further attack There was no police
man at hand to make an arrest, but Mr..
| Dawson is determined to have the case
| brought before trial justice in order TO
get redress for the outrageous treatment of
himself and children The colored men and
women who loaf in that section are a great
! source of annoyance to the residents.
